Yesterday, our favorite cooking show came back for another series looking a little different than it has done before. As fans look forward to what the rest of the series has in store, we remind you who won Top Chef 2022 ahead of the All Stars special. Even better, we’ll let you know the Top Chef season 20 guest judges you can expect to see.
Fans of the show would have immediately noticed that season 20 of the show has a different format to others they’ve seen. By that, we mean it has a whole new location — it’s not even staying in the same place each week and the return of some familiar faces.
No, we don’t mean guest judges, but rather a Top Chef All Stars series where previous competitors from around the globe come back, including who won Top Chef 2022.
Who Won Top Chef 2022 As Chefs Return For All Stars?
Buddha Lo was crowned the winner in series 19, beating Evelyn Garcia and Sarah Welch in the finale.
Previously, the Huso executive chef won the Gordon Ramsey Excellence Award back in 2014 when he worked in London. Clearly, neither that nor the Top Chef win was enough for Buddha as he’s one of the stars returning for Top Chef All-Stars.
Also returning are…
- Ali Ghzawi (Top Chef Middle East, 2019)
- Amar Santana (Top Chef, 2013 and 2018)
- Begoña Rodrigo( Top Chef Spain, 2013)

Competing to become the All Star Top Chef from around the world, there are definitely too many cooks in the kitchen this time around. The series also proves just how popular the show has become, with over 29 editions around the world for you to dig into.
Instead of competing in their own countries, or in the US where the original takes place, the All Star chefs are battling it out in the UK.
